Spiko Finance CEO Paul-Adrien Hyppolite on why Solana: "We've had Solana on the radar for quite a long time. We've scaled significantly in terms of the number of users, increasing 20 to 30% month on month, and we have a roadmap ahead of us that involves several cutoffs per day." "Combining both, we need to operate on an infrastructure that has high throughput and fast finality. Looking at Solana was pretty obvious because it fits these two key criteria for us."

The real power of tokenization isn't just the asset itself. But also what people build on top of it. 🔧 In our latest Apyx Alpha, xStocks Global Head Val joins us to discuss why tokenized assets like $STRCx could become the foundation for an entirely new generation of financial products. From tokenized equities and digital credit to onchain yield strategies, vaults, and portfolio management, we explore what becomes possible when traditional assets become programmable. Timestamps: • 02:04 Why tokenization failed the first time • 05:50 RWAs as programmable financial Lego pieces • 06:19 How protocols can build yield engines using STRCx • 08:00 Why liquidity, not tokenization, is the real unlock • 10:43 New products emerging from tokenized assets • 11:12 Why yield is becoming the dominant RWA use case • 13:01 The rise of a global market for yield • 17:09 The future of onchain portfolio managers • 19:23 Tokenized ETFs vs building funds directly onchain • 20:17 Why crypto can innovate faster than TradFi If $STRC is digital credit, $STRCx may be what makes digital credit composable.
